i have a 1996 Cherokee SE, in all the pictures i see, and even on the road i see cherokee sport's, Classic's, and Country, did i get the weaker sibling of the 4? oh btw its a '96 , is there any difference in the models besides body styling?

 

its all about the trim level. I have a 96 se, it just dosnt have any luxury stuff, no power, no fancy radio, etc. It still has the same 4.0 that the more expensive ones had, same axles, same trans, basically it is no frills. The way I see it, thats less stuff to break!

 

yea the better models just got more comforts i have a sport and it has power everything and ac but has manual cloth seats and manual mirrors

 

I have NOTHING! Crank up windows, 2 speaker am/fm stereo, cloth manual seats, no power mirrors. Wait, I do have a rear wiper. Is that even an option? Or is it standard? Obviously I have upgraded the sound system, but its kinda cool being bare bones like this. I dont have to worry about the windows or seats stopping working, and I have the good options;4.0 and 4x4 with A/C. Perfect for a daily driver/mild trail rig!

 

hehe awesome, now i dont feel alone!, it seemed like all the cherokee's are see here are the better trim's , just good to know its all the same technical things like engine etc, Thanks

 

My 93 sport has manual doors/lock/mirrors, no A/C 2 speakers, no rear wiper, manual trans... Probably as bare bones as they came. Though I do have a full gauge cluster and not idiot lights... but I am not sure when (if) they went to a full cluster standard.

 

Yeah my '85 is pretty much bare bones. No power anything (locks, mirrors, windows, steering ), no AC, no passenger side mirror, 4spd (though atleast 4x4), and the 2.5L. I like it though because there's less stuff to go wrong..especially on a 25 year old vehicle.
